Elm Grove

Elm Grove is a large Tudor/Gothic villa built around 1830-1840, situated on a terrace. The building features crazed rubble with ashlar quoins and dressings, a weathered cornice string, and corner buttresses on the ground floor. The east entrance front has a double ashlar-faced centre break with a parapet raised in a small gable. There is a crenellated oriel window on the first floor with flanking lights, and a crenellated gabled parapet above a crazed rubble porch that has a four-centred arch entrance. On either side of the centre, there is one window each, with three-light wood mullioned transomed casements; the left ground floor window is a canted bay with a crenellated parapet. The south garden front features two gabled wings and two small gables over the first-floor windows in the centre, with drip moulds above the casements and a shallow rectangular bay window on the ground floor, which are later 19th-century alterations. The villa is prominently positioned on a hillside.
